Fire Suppression Systems (FM200)
FM-200 (HFC-227ea) is a widely used clean agent fire suppression system that provides rapid extinguishment of fires while minimizing damage to property and equipment. Fire 1 specializes in designing, installing, and maintaining FM-200 fire suppression systems to protect mission-critical spaces such as data centers, telecommunications facilities, museums, and other areas where water damage must be avoided.

Key Features of FM-200 Fire Suppression Systems
- Rapid Extinguishment
FM-200 suppresses fires quickly through heat absorption and reducing the concentration of oxygen in the area, leading to fast and effective fire control. - Clean Agent
As a clean agent, FM-200 does not leave any residue upon discharge, making it ideal for sensitive environments such as data centers, computer rooms, and archival storage. - Environmental Compliance
FM-200 has a low ozone depletion potential (ODP) and is considered a suitable alternative to halon systems, aligning with international environmental standards. - Safe for Occupants
FM-200 is non-toxic when used as directed (in occupied spaces), providing fire protection without posing health risks to people.
Components of FM-200 Fire Suppression Systems
- Storage Cylinders
Cylinders made of high-strength steel store FM-200 under pressure, ready for immediate deployment in case of a fire. - Release Mechanism
The system can be activated automatically by smoke detectors, heat detectors, or manually via pull stations, ensuring prompt response during a fire event. - Distribution Network
Pipe networks distribute FM-200 to various nozzles strategically positioned within the protected space, allowing for even and efficient coverage. - Control Panel
A sophisticated control panel monitors the system, providing status updates, alarms, and integration options with fire alarm systems.
